...Advances in artificial intelligence are often framed as though they’ll upend human society overnight, and for the last month technologists have had a new darling to obsess over. It’s a piece of software called GPT-3, which can write essays, songs and computer code in response to requests that humans type into its interface in plain text.
The program comes from OpenAI, a top artificial intelligence research organization. OpenAI recently began giving technologists access to it in a private testing period, and they are in love. GPT-3 can build a website layout based on a text-based description, or write a Harry Potter story in the style of a hard-boiled detective novel. One blogger said it might be the “biggest thing since Bitcoin.”
...This is because GPT-3 is limited by its approach, which involves mining a huge number of human writing samples to piece together compelling responses. As a result, there are types of questions it struggles with, usually the types of queries humans would answer easily with one eyebrow raised. GPT-3 appears to be better at putting together code to solve an equation than to just solving the problem itself. (Here’s an interesting blog post exploring GPT-3’s strengths and weaknesses.)
...because the technology relies on parroting things that human beings write on the internet, it has developed some toxic views about women and minorities—a problem that other AI software has fallen into as well
...it does plan to market GPT-3 as a commercial product. If the software becomes as influential as some technologists believe it could be, this may have troubling consequences, embedding the worst versions of humanity into a new generation of powerful products.
